BA+MA in 5 Years

The Saint John's School of Theology and Seminary graduate school offers advanced standing to undergraduate students who are earning a minimum of a 3.2 grade point average in theological coursework at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University. Students in the 5-­‐year dual-­‐degree program start working at a graduate level while finishing their undergraduate degree.

A student in the dual­‐degree program does not have to be a theology major; other majors are acceptable to the program. A theology major or minor, however, helps to provide the student with enough of a foundation to succeed in a master's degree program in theology. The master's degree of this program is exclusively a Master of Arts in Theology.

Within the Master of Arts in Theology program, a student chooses from the following concentrations:

Spirituality

Scripture

Church History

Liturgy

Systematic Theology

Monastic Studies

Below is an example of how the B.A. + M.A. credits could be distributed to fit within 5 years. There are other possibilities. Each student's plan will be different depending on his or her areas of interest and undergraduate major.
